(GUIDE)How to get ROOT,WIFI+BT, CWM Recovery, Face unclock + Gapps for ICS BETA

Hey Guys, Just thought I would put together everything in one thread for everyone so you guys can get everything available for ICS beta atm, Most of this is thanks to DoomLord!
Firstly, To have CWM Recovery, Hotboot any kernel. I will explain
1. Download a kernel e.g Doomkernel v19 and hotboot via fast boot
Type in Fastboot boot boot.img
Then boot while repeatly pressing back button/volume rockets to enter recovery.
This will not flash this kernel only boot it so nothing else required
2. Then get into recovery by pressing volume rockers and flash whatever you need, after this reboot your device and thats it
Well it does require you to have PC access everytime you want recovery but it will have to do for now
OR for easier way simply install this CWM installer made by pvyparts which works fine with ics beta rom and don't need PC for it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437840
It could cause issues as this CWM isn't made for this but no issues have been reported as of now.
To Get faceunclock and google apps such as market, gmail:
1. Go to FXP Cm9 thread and download their latest gapps and flash via recovery( use method above for recovery)
To get ROOT access:
1.Flash the superuser fix via recovery ( access recovery via method above)
2. Go to the market and download busybox by Stephen Sterricson and then select any version of busybox and install it. NOW YOU HAVE ROOT
Thanks to Binary, We have WIFI And Bluetooth now too. Go into build.prop via Root explorer, OI file manager (free) or other file explorers:
add these lines into system/build.prop
persist.wifienabled=1
persist.btenabled=1
OR flash the package by Doomlord via recovery ( use method above). Much easier
Now we have everything that is needed Thanks to Binary and Doomlord once more.

Thanks alot .... All what is left for now is the Wifi fix .... doom said bin4ry has a build.prop fix or something anybody found it?

you are so quick mate
have you try using doom on screen button enabler??

I have wifi and root

Thanks guys, and ill try and find the wifi thing. If i do ill update the thread

How did you get wifi working mate :O Please share

You can just hot boot doomkernel after installing se boot.img by
Fastboot boot boot.img
Once u restart from recovery it will revert to the original kernel
Sent from here to there.

Thanks updated OP

Hi guys,
I think Bin4ry's fix was that there's a line in build.prop called persist.wifienabled which needs to be set to 1 (true).
I'm backing up my ROM and then I'll try it on my arc, see if it works.
Cheers
EDIT: it works perfectly ;-)

Better flash a package to enabled wifi and bt.
In just 30 mins i got too much pn's about how to edit the file oO ....
Regards

this may help?

AWEEEEEEEEESOME .... WIfi and BT works now thanks to doom and bin4ry
you need to:-
1- use any kernel to just boot into CWM
2- flash this package : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...38&postcount=2 .... i deleted the first presist in the package . i don't know if it's necessery or not
3-turn off device
4-flash SE kernel Again (UMAD? SE kernel )
5-Enjoy Wifi And BT and the whole ICS .

Will the Same procedure apply for Xperia Ray??..
I want to Flash this, really dont know how.. I have my Xperia Ray unlocked via Test Point method so what should I do? Need just a hint...

Yes they should If a version is released for Ray by SE.
And thanks Hemo, Linked it in OP

Yes its available for Ray... Just need a Hint.. Should I start flashing using Flashtool or something?.. A small guide on How to flash would have been very nice...

How to flash the SE Beta ROM? Urm its linked in the SE thread, heres how to do it though. Its all flashed via fastboot btw. Extract the package to fast boot folder and copy and paste userdata.img, system.img and boot.img to fastboot folder. Then open command prompt and:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img

[DISCONTINUED][CWM][ALL BL][STOCK] ClockWorkMod 6.0.4.6 for Xperia T/TL/TX/V v9

This thread is no longer continued. My T died a few weeks ago for second time in his life and there is no cheap repair. I see you in the LG G2 forums (current device)
CLOCKWORKMOD FOR XPERIA T/TL/TX/V v9
From v1 to v8: based on this, so most credits go to cray_Doze.
From v9 onwards: own development.​
This is for:
Rooted phones
Locked/Unlocked bootloaders
Stock firmwares T/TL/TX/V (ICS & JB)
What is working:
Backup
Restore
External SD
Flash zip files
Mount/Unmount partitions
And so on, so apparently all (further testing and feedback will be appreciated)
What is NOT working:
Some users are reporting issues on latest v9 like error mounting both system partition and usb storage, formating external sd, and others. Take in account that CWM 6.0.4.6 is the latest version available for our devices, as many of you are requesting repeatedly. It comes from CM10.1, which is Android 4.3 while most of us are still on 4.1. So a lot of things are expected to not work. While Android 4.3 finally arrives for our devices and these issues are solved, if you're experiencing problems downgrade to v8 which is fully functional. Simple and clear.
Installing:
Installing CWM for the first time is as simple as:
Download CWM v4 installer for ICS if you are on Ice Cream Sandwich or CWM v9 installer for JB if you are on Jelly Bean, and unzip
Enable USB debugging and connect phone to your computer
Run install.bat/install.sh
Flashing CWM from itself (could be required after flash a rom) is as simple as:
Download CWM v4 flashable for ICS if you are on Ice Cream Sandwich or CWM v9 flashable for JB if you are on Jelly Bean, and copy to your phone
Flash the zip file from CWM
Older versions can be found here.
Entering CWM:
Disconnect usb cable and power off the phone
Power on the phone
When SONY logo appears:
On Xperia T/TL/TX press repeatedly (not holding) volume-down button until the phone vibrates
On Xperia V running ICS press repeatedly (not holding) volume-down button until the phone vibrates
On Xperia V running JB try one of these:
Press repeatedly (not holding) power button until the phone vibrates
Tap repeatedly the screen
Wait a few seconds and you will be on CWM
Navigating CWM:
Volume+ for up
Volume- for down
Power button for enter/ok
Unable to enter recovery?
Make sure you have granted superuser permissions to adb shell. Sometimes this occurs when running install.bat/install.sh for the first time, sometimes not. Best way is open a command terminal on your favourite operative system, enter "adb shell" and then enter "su". Your super user application will ask you for grant permissions, accept and retry running install.bat/install.sh.
Changelog:
v1: Modified sh script (removed some unnecessary commands, added validations with messages for install success/failed)
v2: Modified binary to display correct model information and versioning
v3: Tweaked chargemon script for JB kernels compatibility (many thanks to TiMiN8R for provide this solution)
v4: Reboot Fix self-integrated
v5: Tweaked chargemon script for Xperia V 9.1.A.1.140 firmware compatibility (many thanks to cray_Doze for provide this solution)
v6: Updated to CWM 6.0.3.0, solved wrong backup time
v7: Copy proper charger file for every supported Xperia model (installer version will ask for model whereas flashable version will try to determine it based on ro.semc.product.model build.prop property)
v8: Added install.sh script to allow installation from Linux environments (just applies to installer version, but flashable version also upgrades to do not embroil versioning)
v9: Updated to CWM 6.0.4.6
Bug reporting:
If you found a bug, or this CWM is not working for you, please send me a PM with:
A description of your problem
Which version of CWM you are
Which version of Android you are
Which model of Xperia you own
Dropbox links (or similar) to download the following log files (you must pull off from your phone just after reproduce the error):
/cache/chargemon/chargemon.log
/cache/recovery/last_log
If you help me, I will be able to help you. If your sole intention is to post something like "this doesn't work" or "please repair" and nothing more, your post will be ignored (at least by myself).
Last but not least, say that I just own the Xpertia T, not the TL/TX/V. That just means one thing: tracking and solving bugs on these are, as little, very difficult. Be patient and trust on hard work of developers.
Important notes:
Some users are experiencing problems entering CWM when they upgrade root's integrated busybox (1.20.0 version) to a mayor version (many thanks to istux for report this issue). Try reinstalling CWM to fix (many thanks to devilmaycry2020 to provide this solution).
If you come from ROM-integrated CWM, chances are that you do not have the proper charger file for your device model (it is copied on CWM installation, but no one has been performed due the integration nature). So if you are suffering automatic power on when charging, you must reinstall CWM.
Enjoy it!​

Does it work after do that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32978279&postcount=2 on latest 7.0.A.3.195?

At the moment you can't install CWM on FW195 with locked bootloader, but you can try this.

It works for me. After that everything works (root) but recovery disappears.
To make back recovery, just use install.bat again.
I have a .195, root and recovery on locked bootloaoder
Thanks guys!

would this work on a Xperia TL rooted running .303?
Thanks

It should, originally was developed for Xperia SX/GX and works in T like a charm, so I think both TL and TX are also candidates.
Please report if you try and works.

will do. ill try as soon as i get home. thanks.

davidmarco said:
Upgrade to Stock Firmware 7.0.A.3.195
Now that you have recovery, you can upgrade to FW195 as said here. After that, you need to install CWM again (don't worry, it will work even though you are in FW195 with locked bootloader; many thanks to Pacjonek for this info).
Enjoy it!​

After upgrading you need to flash this file in order to get the 7.0.A.3.195 stock kernel. People have reported bugs with extended standy mode causing bootloops with this method and a 303 kernel.

It works.
Now, which roms would work? I understand they need to be stock based roms. But, is there a way around it? I want to try the MIUI rom on the Xperia. by the way, i did not upgrade to .195. I am still on .303.

Yes there is a way around it,unlock your bootloaderand them you can flash custom kernels. With a locked bootloader you are limited to stock kernels and stock based ROMs

Tried on TX (LT29i). It works!
But after installing recovery not apply OTA updates. It would be great to have the ability to remove recovery, for OTA update, as easy as installing.

I'm on latest 195 FW so I'm unable to confirm that issue, but install recovery is no more than push a bunch of files to the device. Tomorrow I will try the opposite, pushing back any overwritten file. In theory this should work.
If you want the latest firmware you can also try this and then install CWM (it worked for me).

Any confirmed attempt on a TL running 7.0.B.1.152?

I wrote a little tool to remove CWM from our devices, it just deletes the stuff pushed by the installer and restores some original files. It can be downloaded from here.
It would be nice if someone could confirm that OTA update is working after remove CWM.

Is the script outputting the message "CWM succesfully installed!" ?
Users of other Xperia devices have reported some combination of keystrokes working for them (when Sony logo is on screen), like press repeatedly vol+, hold vol-, tap screen multiple times... Have you tried some of these?

Yes, it gave a "CWM successfully installed", press any key to continue message.
I haven't tried any combinations of volume +/- or screen taps other than the instructions that we're provided... so I'll try some other combos and see if that works. However, one time I got the phone into "SAFE MODE". Kinda surprised me.

Im getting bugged about an update to this, but I have already updated to 010. But since I had the phone early I flashed the previous kernel from championswimmer. I didn't wanna unlock the bootloader for the OTA then relock and wipe everything.
If I flash this I wouldn't have to wipe everything? Im on CWM recovery btw.
Sent from my LT25i using xda premium

Stock kernel flashing does not require wipe. Nothing has changed in the kernel apart from the 2 parameters i changed to allow root and insecure abilities.

No! It's just an example for a kernel with CWM recovery, because that's what you need to install the ZIP. You could also use NKernel, if you did not have a working CWM recovery.
After flashing the ZIP, the kernel gets overwritten.

please hit thanks buttom ....Happy Flashing :good:

I'm having trouble, I flash the rom but it just hangs at the white SONY XPERIA initial boot image. I tried flashing from both TWRP 3 (from https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...oot-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605) and TWRP 2 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/orig-development/twrp-z5-compact-t3235161) with the same results. Should I be using some other TWRP? Could it be an issue because I flashed over .378 instead of .376? I am downloading .376 now to try that...

Most probably you must flash ftf Z5C_32.3.A.0.376_R2R_AU before flash this
try this recovery flash it to ur recovery partition

Well I found I had E5823_32.3.A.0.376_R2D_Customized AU_1298-7260.ftf already downloaded so I flashed that, then flashed this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/orig-development/twrp-z5-compact-t3235161 and finally flashed your rom...still no luck.
Am I at least using the right TWRP? Flashed by flashing both recovery and boot partition images? I'll try downloading the exact Z5C_32.3.A.0.376_R2R_AU variant next...
Edit: I don't see any R2R variant. I think I flashed the right one, in this case - R2D like in the thread title.

Thanks, that one worked! Also, I dirty flashed over .378, without clearing data, just cache and dalvik, and everything *seems* to be working fine

The kernel link not working ?
Does it have drm fix ?

Excellent ROM
The mods are exactly what I'm looking for...
Charging light is insane in stock... Root is out of the box... Battery life seems great...
Good show!

Source or any further explaination on "tweaks"?

@altvolt47 Do you know if the recently posted Z5Comp_SK_Perm_v376_III.3_14_3_ctl_X_suzuran kernel also has drm fix? My FIDO_KEYS are not provisioned and I'm wondering if this is why when using that latest kernel.

DRM fix works out of the box for me with this rom. Did you flash your DK.ftf file, made with your TA backup? I had to do that in order for the FIDO_KEYS to say provisioned. But even without that, you can check that X-Reality at least is working under regular Settings (that doesn't require a TA backup, just the DRM fix.)

My DK.ftf was lost in the wind a while ago I cry but nothing I can do now. I do have my TA-trim backed up in a twrp backup but that doesn't seem to work either... Oh well as long as the DRM fix works I'm not even sure what FIDO_KEYS provides me @cyberwytch

I have a customised MEA 376
Will it work on mine ?
Or i have to get the AU ftf ?
If so I'll be needing an AU ftf compatible with e5803 variant
I couldn't find an ftf for that
